Don't you hate it when something really exciting happens and you aren't allowed to talk about it. These are all things I will be able to share in the near future, I don't like surprises but that's the way it goes sometimes. Fuck it's like the moment I turned 30 and things just started falling into place. 20's were the "make mistakes but make sure you are also working hard at whatever it is you love to do." Get your heart broken, clean up the mess, pick yourself back up and do it all again until you hit 30 if ...
EXGF – We Are The Hearts (Premiere)
We Are The Hearts...
Have you ever denied yourself the opportunity to make the right decision? i.e. You know shouldn’t take a job for the money, you know the person you’re with isn’t right for you, but you do it anyway, you carry on for the wrong reasons. What makes us so reluctant to choosing our nobler influences and why are we ruled by habitual vices, weak to our desires?
Those are tough questions but often times it’s our own ego hidden in the form of intellect that gives credence to our ego supported qualities. The intellect is nothing more than a middle man ...
Parra For Cuva feat. Anna Naklab – Wicked Games (Original Mix)
The original "Wicked Games" by Chris Isaak has to be one of my favorite songs, the lyrics, and the luring strums of the guitar, it's so effortlessly beautiful and timeless. So when I heard this original mix from Parra For Cuva & Anna Naklab I fell in love all over again. I can shamelessly say that I am in love and it doesn't matter with what or with who, so you can just keep on guessing, but the original is what plays in my head on a weekly basis, and now depending on my mood I now have two versions ...
Marina & The Diamonds – Starring Role
I've been a little under the weather the past few days but I guess that's just the time of year that's why I always like to find new tunes that are a little more upbeat but still have an aggressive message, I just think the majority of us are feeling a little more aggression around this time.
Marina & The Diamonds really hit home lyrically in this track. I have to always stop and remind myself that maybe when we feel a distance from someone in our lives or anything in general its not necessarily us, but maybe the weather or ...
I’ve probably heard about 7 or 8 versions of this song by now, doesn’t get old. Quality production and even better feel. It’s from their 2008 LP The Rhumb Line, definitely their best effort to date. Great song.
Well she called me up, she said I love you in the middle of the night
I said In the middle of the night everybody loves everybody else these days
She said Oh, in the middle of the day I love you very much
I said Everybody loves each other these daysâ€
Kelley Polar is a former classical violinist/composer (astronaut) who found this website and started making Space Age love music. “A Dream In Three Parts†is one of the standouts from his album, though the album isn’t short of good tracks. A full exposure of all his influences, it is borderline weird like all his stuff but still very musical and engaging.
Hip-hop producers aren’t the only one’s who can transform completely off topic samples into something fresh and relevant, Passion Pit’s “Sleepyhead†is a glimpse of where sampling could go if used creatively, it’s truly endless. I got their Chunk of Change EP when I was in Boston and got reminded of it yesterday by the always on point Steph Lund. I have to admit though, there is a big difference between “Sleepyhead†and the rest of the EP. This is a great song though, very fresh.
“Passion Pit is an instantly likeable (bordering on joyful) new band out of Boston that’s the product of Michael Angelakos’ inventive imagination. This guy must dance when he dreams.†– www.ohmyrockness.com
I posted the White Stripes version of this song a few days ago but had no idea it was a cover. The song was written by Corky Robbins and performed by Patti Page way back in the 50s.
Here’s a version of the White Stripes cover not too many are familiar with, the acoustic mariachi version, fresh.
From their debut “She’s in Control,†if all you know of Chromeo is “Fancy Footwork†it’s time to get on iTunes and learn some history. The funkiest Arab/Jewish collaboration “since the beginning of time.†Great production, great song.
You always told me you wanted something more, I couldn’t give you what you were looking for. Is that a reason to stab me in the back? Now tell me baby what you think about that? (Is it revenge) Is it a sin? Is that the way you treat your mother fucking friend? I’m just saying I do no wrong, I just felt like writing this song. Rage! You got me in a state of rage.â€
There aren’t too many “soft spoken†acts that actually manage keep people’s attention, aside from Bon Iver and maybe two or three others I usually end up tuning into something more engaging. Andrew Bird however is another exception. Maybe its his musicality that keeps you involved, could be his very peculiar choice of instrumentation, who knows but I’m really starting to dig his new stuff, looking forward to the album. Good music.
